Welcome to the complete guide and walkthrough for one of the hardest games you’re ever likely to encounter – Dark Souls.
The creatures right ahead of you are extremely tough to kill, so run for it. If you have a bow and a vast amount of arrows, you can lead them to the entrance where they are unable to get through, then shoot them to death from the others side. If you do kill them you’ll get 2,000 souls for each one!
Run toward the stone structure closest to you, and head for the side of it farthest away from you. There should be an entrance there, with some loot inside. The creatures cannot enter here to kill you, so use this as a safe zone if need be.
Note: to get to the building, you’ll need the orange charred ring to survive the long walk through the lava.
Head to the next building, which is to the right as you exit this one. There is an entrance to this building on the same side, but you have to hit the wall to make it disappear, granting you entrance. There is a bonfire in here.
Rest, and when ready, take note of the log that is directly forward from the exit of this building. Run there, and then up the root to enter the city of Izalith proper.
Head down the next root and kill the stone demons that will assault you. Actually, there will be a lot of stone demons from here on in. There is only one way to go till you reach the staircase with the creepy tentacle demon on it, so just cut your way through the enemies till you reach said staircase.
Head up toward the tentacle demon and be wary as it has an acid spray that will just eat right through your weapons and armour. Otherwise they are pretty easy to kill, just stay behind them and hack away.
Once he is dead, head through the small building. Once you exit this building, straight will lead to the boss, and right to a number of side areas. I will assume you go right.
Note: you might be assaulted by a pyromancer at this point. Kill her and then continue to the right as before.
If you head straight now, you’ll go down a root, then circle the building for some loot. Do so. Once that’s done, head back and then down the stairs.
This area has two ways to go. A long bridge to the right, and a cave to the left. Go right first. About midway down this bridge, there will be a titanite demon that you must slay. Once he falls, continue down and kill all the bugs at the end of the bridge. One should drop the sunlight maggot.
Once you have it, head back across the bridge and into the cave, but stay as far to the right as you can. If done correctly, the floor should fall, with you landing on a root, which you can take down into the new area.
Once down there, note the four creepy-eyeball-tentacle-monsters in the pit. Guess what. Jump down and kill them. Use arrows or magic beforehand if you can, otherwise just hop down and try not to be killed.
Once they’ve died, collect the loot from the bodies and head down the tunnel that is not blocked by roots. Then take a left, and another left. Continue in this direction for a while, then go right into a new tunnel with a chest at the end of it.
Once you have the treasure, head back out of this tunnel and go right, then left, and go straight across both pits, then left and left up the stairs. Kill the monster at the top of the stairs and collect the loot, then head back down the stairs and go follow the path straight to find a corresponding set of stairs on the other side. Climb these and use them to access a root that will take you back to the top.
Once up above, backtrack to the place where the pyromancer was. If in human form, Knight Kirk will invade at this point. Otherwise continue forward and slay the monster ahead to get some loot, then head back to the fog wall to deal with the boss.
Boss Fight: Bed of Chaos
Once past the fog, slide down the slope to start the battle.
Notice the two orbs to either side of the boss. Those are your objectives. Run toward one, while blocking the swings the boss takes at you. Once you get near it, roll inside the orb, and attack the glowing branch. This will unlock a nasty appendage.
You are safe to heal in here if you do it quickly.
Once you’re ready, head out of the orb, and move to the other one. Bits of the floor will fall away as you approach, so make sure avoid falling. Also be wary of the boss hitting you into one of the pits.
Once at the other orb, hit the glowing branch again to unlock the boss fully. Now make your way back to the centre and approach the boss. The floor in front of her should fall away, leaving you no option but to jump onto the root in the gap and then follow it under the boss.
Once you do this, break through till you find a little slug thing at the end. Kill it to defeat this boss.
Once the boss dies, a bonfire will appear. Rest and return to Firelink.
